Who Doesn’t Love a Parade? Certainly not the City of Newark.
This Saturday, August 1, Main Street hosts the Cumberland Valley Firefighters parade with lots of fire trucks and fun. The downside is that Main Street will be closed from about 11:30 to 2:30 (give or take).
If you love a parade or have some small folk at home who are fans of the shiny red trucks stop on by and watch the parade and visit your friendly neighborhood comic shop. Pick up a Scooby Doo Fire Fighter coloring page drawn by Scott Neely.
